Look What Happened Last Year!

Truth or Consequences, New Mexico

Opening Ceremony

Coming into balance through honoring the great mother and four elemental mothers creates a space of true transformation, sustainability and healing.

Please bring a drum if you have one and any offerings for the Four Mothers Shrine & Medicine Wheel for the direction that calls to you or to each direction (offerings can include: flowers, candles, fruit, stones, water, your personal treasures, a poem, song, intention, dance or prayer) that you would like to share. The colors of the directions are: East-Yellow, South-Red, West-Black, North-White.

Look deep inside to find inner blocks and obstacles that are standing in the way of you being your most authentic self and be ready to turn them over and release them through the elemental ceremony. Also, you are welcome to bring something that you would like blessed on the Shrine & Medicine Wheel so you can take it with you to share or continue this process.

The Medicine Wheel and Four Mothers Shrine will be continuously available throughout the festival, for you to leave blessings, offerings and anything you would like to release. All are welcome.

Healing Waters Trail Hike

Visitor Center – 301 S Foch St

Live Music & Vendors

Jenny Bird has been called “the most passionate performer in the new folk genre.” The stage is her second home where she’s been presenting her original songs since the age of ten. Professionally managed as a teenager, Jenny lived and recorded in Germany and Belgium. For the last 20 years, she’s toured widely and consistently, playing festivals and clubs across Europe, Canada, and the United States. She is well respected in her home town of Taos, New Mexico where she records and teaches music.

She will have her brand new CD that was just released in April, available for purchase at TorC’s Hot Spring Festival.

Given her first guitar at the age of 17, Lucy has been singing her story through song ever since. Raised in Ohio and adult-grown across American roads East to West, Lucy’s gypsy spirit has led the way most of her life. An artist by nature, music was self-taught and songs began as stories of her journey, often written inside a van, a tent or a roadside hotel room. Decateds later, this story continues through her seasoned songs, creating a audibly trenchant, palpable experience of the human heart.

Joining her for this performance a the Hot Sprin

gs Festival is Lori Ottino from “Hot Honey”

Jen Exten

1pm-2pm

Jen Exten’s music incubates in a heart endlessly searching for peace and balance. From a unique recipe of influences like Suzanne Vega, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Ani DiFranco, Patti Griffin, Lori Anderson and Joni Mitchell evolves a rich and soulful mixture of lyric and tone. “Jen has a wonderful must-be-heard voice with which she conveys her gorgeous melodies.” Dar Williams

Born and raised in Boston, MA, solo bassist, Milo Matthews brings a rare energy to the stage, weaving complex compositions out of thin air. His music is as infectious as his smile, and carries his listeners to a different place. Whether meticulously engineering music in the studio or building it, layer by layer onstage, Milo’s unique music is a treat for all ears!

CW Ayon may call the Southwestern deserts of New Mexico home but his soul is deeply rooted in the Blues and grooves of the Mississippi Hill Country. With a rather simple kick/snare and tambourine setup he lays down solid beats while picking out some catchy hooks on anything from acoustic to resonator guitars. Sometimes dropping in a bit of harmonica for good measure. All the while building a sound and playing style that is deceptively larger than it seems. One of TorC’s favorite visiting performers.

Modern-folk and husband-and-wife duo Moody Little Sister has met and magnetized their audience’s imagination since the debut album Wild Places appeared in 2015, produced by folk-rock icon Pete Droge, and propelled by the drumming of Jay Bellerose (Robert Plant & Allison Krauss, Joe Henry, Elton John).

Though their writing has been described as “masterly” (Oregon Music News) and “earthy and approachable” (Bitch), these are not songs charging towards the mainstream on waves of electromagnetic radiation; this is not a band spraying buckshot for new fans. Moody Little Sister has built a loyal community around their music the old-old-old fashioned way: one listening room, house concert, front porch, and campfire at a time.

Cydney Wilkes

FEEL THE RHYTHM: CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY

4pm-5:30pm

Integrative Intentions – 400 Mims Street – FREE!

In this free workshop, we will discuss basic foundations of Upledger CranioSacral Therapy. We’ll also practice “blending and melding,” a way of touch that facilitates client-centered healing. We’ll tune into the CS rhythm and “listen” to its qualities, delving into our bodies with this perspective.

Rhythm defines many parts of our physical being. Our hearts beat, our food digests, we breathe in and out many times a day. Our CranioSacral Rhythm pulses too, and it can reveal many qualities about our health.

The characteristics of our CS rhythm can give us a general sense of our bodies, like how it’s coping with stress or injury. It can also show us areas that are restricted or sluggish, all of which can contribute to illness, pain or just not feeling your top self.

A marvelous aspect to keying into this rhythm is by using it as a resource for freeing restrictions and helping your body resume its ideal level of function. Sluggishness transforms to normal flow, coping mechanisms ease, and well-being is closer. The CS rhythm itself can be a tool to help these changes come about.

Open to all. Wear comfortable clothing. We will practice on each other on massage tables.

The Star Party will begin at 6pm with a potluck supper and music from local musicians, in the cool evening breezes of Kingston. Black Range Vineyards will be on hand offering wine and beer for purchase.

You will learn the basics of how the sky looks and moves, the positions a appearances of the most conspicuous constellations, and explore the myths and legends that many cultures have told about the sky. Topics will include lunar phases, celestial navigation, constellations and cosmology, the zodiac and general starlore. In case of clouds, Professor Stocke will present Secrets of Polynesian Navigation, indoors

One of the 1st songs given her by the Creator was a prayer/medicine song for one of her daughters going thru a difficult time.
